USDA and SBA Partner to Help Farmers Report and Challenge Regulatory Abuse
The Trump administration has issued a memorandum of understanding between the USDA and the SBA to combat regulatory actions against rural producers. This partnership allows the USDA to collect complaints from farmers and ranchers who face costly federal rules. The SBA will then manage these cases to resolve disputes and identify patterns of government overreach that harm productivity. The goal of this cooperation is to eliminate regulations that drive up costs for family farmers who often lack the legal resources to fight back against federal agencies. By streamlining the reporting process, the administration aims to protect the small businesses that power the rural economy from regulatory lawfare.

USDA and SBA Sign Agreement to Protect Farmers and Small Businesses from Regulatory Lawfare
The USDA and SBA signed a Memorandum of Understanding to combat what they describe as lawfare against agricultural producers and small businesses. This partnership aims to protect ranchers and farmers from weaponized regulations by creating a joint system to handle complaints. The initiative allows both agencies to intake and resolve matters submitted through the USDA Lawfare Portal that involve other federal agencies.
Secretary Rollins and SBA Administrator Kelly signed the agreement during a live event to advance the Farmer and Rancher Freedom Framework. This move is part of a broader Trump administration effort to target regulatory and enforcement actions that officials claim unfairly burden rural communities. The agencies will now work together to categorize and manage these cases to ensure federal oversight does not overreach.
